| LOC:3 |
| $425.00 | Moll--Herman | Antique-Chart-of-Port-Royal-Harbor--South-Carolina | This antique chart of <b>Port Royal Sound</b>, drawn by Herman Moll before 1732, is the earliest obtainable large-scale chart focused on the Port Royal / Beaufort, South Carolina area and one of the earliest to name <b>Hilton Head</b>. With locations identified for two proposed forts guarding the main channel to "Bauford Town" (Beaufort), which was located by Moll on Parris Island ("Port Royal Island"). Other noted features include St. Helena Island, with Phillips Point and St. Michaels Head. Numerous soundings and sandbars are indicated.
<br></br>
Moll added this description of the area below the title block: <div class="indenttextblock">"Port Royal River lies 20 Leagues from Ashley River SW it has a bold entrance 19 or 20 foot at low-water. The Harbor is large, safe, and commodious and runs into ye best country in Carolina. Here ye air is always cleer and agreeable to Europian constitutions".</div>
</br>
This old map of Port Royal, Hilton Head, and Beaufort S.C. is from the 3rd edition of Moll's "Atlas Minor: or a New and Curious Set of Sixty-two Maps", published for Thomas and John Bowles in 1736. |

| LOC:3 |
| $375.00 | Malham--John | A-Correct-Chart-of-the-West-India-Islands-engraved-for-Malham-s-Naval-Gazetteer | Increasingly scarce on the market. Rev. John Malham's chart of the United States east coast lying south of Charlestown, South Carolina. Covers the Gulf of Mexico, Cuba, Bahamas, Hispaniola, the West Indies, Central America, Columbia, and Venezuela south to the mouth of the Orinoco River.

Key noted cities include Charleston, Savannah, St. Augustine, New Orleans, Havana, Port Royal, Cartagena, Caracas.
<br></br>
From the rare first American edition of Malham's Naval Gazetteer, published by Spotswood and Nancrede in Boston in 1797. Early U.S. colonial nautical chart engravings are scarce.
<BR> </BR>
This chart comes from an early nautical gazetteer or geographical dictionary produced first in England and after 1796 in the United States by John Malham a prolific Yorkshire-born author who produced other diverse works that include "Navigation Made Easy and Familiar". |

Produced under the supervision of A.D. Bache, Superintendent of the Survey of the Coast of the United States. Within a mile or so of the riverine margins each building, field, and plot of land are drawn in fine detail. With sailing directions and an explanation of navigation using the ranges.

<br><br>
My interpretation of the map suggests Weiss printed the map between December 27, 1860, when the Union surrendered Shutes Folly/Castle Pinckney to the S.C. militia but before April 12, 1861 when the Confederacy began bombardment of Union forces at Fort Sumter. During this period the public had an intense interest in the building conflict.

Very interesting pictorial map. On the verso the description of some of the coast's less well-travelled areas is priceless. Before overall completion of Highway 12 (1) here is a description of a car trip down the path now filled by Hwy. 12:
<br>
<div class="indenttextblocksingle">
"Down the Outer Banks of North Carolina, from junction of road with US 158 to Hatteras. 60 miles. This tour is recommended for the adventurous and only the <b>good sand driver</b> should attempt it in his own car. Much of the route is without benefits of highways, and often the inexpert driver is <b>stalled in the sand.</b> Generally, best driving is on the beach at low tide (it should not be attempted on an incoming tide). All the villages are on the Sound side, however, and to reach them, motorists must drive across the top of the beach, usually through soft sand. Take a can of extra water... There are coast guard stations along the way where help may be obtained. There are no facilities or dwellings between villages."
<br><br>
" is junction of a paved road (L) with US 158 at the so-called Whalebone site. Turn left on this road which is paved for only a mile, and down either the "inside" set of sand ruts or the beach. The route runs along an undeveloped beach section, with here and there the remains of old wrecks.
At 05.0 on R is Bodie Island (pronounced body) lighthouse. It first was erected in 1848, rebuilt in 1859 and destroyed during the Civil War. While the present tower was under construction five sailing vessels were wrecked on the beach. Rebuilt in 1872, the structure is 162 feet high, has a 160,000 candlepower beam visible 19 m. "

| $225.00 | Wilson--John-F- | Decorative-pictorial-map-of-Manteo--North-Carolina | Interesting pictorial map of downtown Manteo, North Carolina on Roanoke Island along Shallowbag Bay. This very decorative map is packed with features of daily life on Roanoke and provides a street map and birds-eye view of Manteo downtown ringed by pictures reflecting its maritime heritage including boats, sea chests, seagulls, oars, antique furniture, anchors, and foodstuffs.
<br></br>
A number of local historical homes are featured including the George Howard Creef House; the Forbes Nixon House; the Meekins House; the James Bonner House; and "The Old House" or George Washington Creef House, said to be one of the oldest structures then standing in downtown Manteo. Other key features pictured on the map are the Pioneer Theater; the Roanoke Island Volunteer Fire Department; Water Oak at Mother Vineyard; and the Dare County Courthouse.
<br></br>
About the courthouse Wilson notes:
<div class="indenttextblock"> "Erected 1904, replacing a wooden 1873 structure. The land for the building was donated by John Wescott in 1870 when the county of Dare was formed from the counties of Hyde, Tyrrell and Currituck. It was named in honor of Virginia Dare, the first child of English parents born in the New World."

<br />
Manteo is located on Roanoke Island, part of North Carolina's Outer Banks. Named the seat of government for Dare County in 1870, Manteo incorporated in 1899 and in 2010 had a population of just 1434 persons.
